Staying/going during the summer

[Lawnmower]

Here's my presumptions:

Neil Etheridge Stay
Alex Smithies Stay
Brian Murphy Stay
Lee Peltier Stay
Joe Bennett Stay
Sean Morrison Stay
Bruno Ecuele Manga Stay
Jazz Richards Stay
Leandro Bacuna Stay
Matthew Connolly Go
Greg Cunningham Stay
Souleymane Bamba Stay
Joe Ralls Stay
Josh Murphy Stay
Callum Paterson Stay
Bobby Reid Stay
Loic Damour Go
Kadeem Harris Go
Junior Hoilett Stay
Danny Ward Stay
Kenneth Zohore Stay
Nathaniel Mendez-Laing Stay
Rhys Healey Go

I think that’s more realistic, although I’d expect Richards to leave.

Not sure of the contract situation with Healey and Damour, but I’d expect them to be gone.

Tomlin is another you’d expect to go. Bogle and Madine too.

Wonder if we will get a promotion bonus off Sheff Utd for loaning him out ?

Just saw this thread....could a mod delete mine pls

Etheridge (Will be picked up as a premier No1/squad player
Bennett Ditto
Manga...Will go on a free
Richards Ditto
Arter - stay in prem
Camarasa - ditto
Gunners - gone
Harris - will go on a free for more money
Hoillet - ditto
Niasse - will go elsewhere
Madine- stay at Utd

That's 11 players 8 who are currently in the first 11.

Whichever way you look at it that's major surgery required.

The club needs to decide if its a short term fix or a more fundamental change required.

My view is we seem to be in a good position but need a long term vision is needed....not sure this club has ever been up for this though

Thinking about it, only people we need worry about staying are Warnock and Madine. Both know how to get promoted. Was very nice of Warnock to send some Madine promotion magic to his boyhood club but we will need him next season.

I pretty much agree with most of the above. Harris and Richard have barely played at all in the last two seasons, and Connolly even less. The only one I disagree with is Madine, Sheff U won't want him we'll be lumbered with him, Tomlin and Bogle and a load of players we don't really want. A lot of which are the result of Warnock's crap signings.

As for Murphy and Reid going, mentioned above, I don't think anybody would want them, and if they did, not for what we paid for them. We are going to need about 12 players to fill gaps.

I also think it's time for Bamba to move on, he's 34 now. And let's face it Danny Ward looks good for about 15 minutes every 3 months! Sadly Manga will leave, and we'll be very lucky to keep hold of Etheridge.

So we'll be left with all the players we don't really want.

A squad of Smithies, Murphy, Peltier, Bennett, Morrison, Ralls, Holiett, Mendez-Laing, Murphy, Zohore, Ward, Madine, Tomlin, Bogle, Healey. Not very good is it?

Mind you, we could win our last two games and all will be OK.

So frustrating on times, he’s obviously rigidly sticking to Warnock’s orders, but Jesus Christ mix it up a bit. The opposition always know it’s going to be a long ball and organise accordingly inevitably winning the ball. There’s times when both our full backs are free and possession could be kept, I've found myself screaming at him to roll it out but does he listen???????? No he frigging doesn’t, if he does leave he may have to go back to goalkeeping school and enrol in the distribution course!!

I’m sure it must be trained in to them run out as fast as possible to quickly throw it but don’t throw it stop and waste time and shout at the players because you didn’t quickly release it Marshall done exactly the same

I'd keep Ward, he's always looked decent for us

Lee Peltier Stay
Joe Bennett Stay
Sean Morrison Stay
Bruno Ecuele Manga Stay
Jazz Richards Go
Leandro Bacuna Stay (he's on a 4 year deal, plus would be a decent enough squad player at Championship level)
Matthew Connolly Go
Greg Cunningham Stay (decent enough squad player at Champonship level)
Souleymane Bamba Stay
Joe Ralls Stay
Josh Murphy Stay
Callum Paterson Stay
Bobby Reid Stay
Loic Damour Go
Kadeem Harris Stay (decent squad player for Champ. level)
Junior Hoilett Stay
Danny Ward Stay (decent squad player for Champ. level)
Kenneth Zohore Go
Nathaniel Mendez-Laing Stay
Rhys Healey Go

I thought his kicking had improved earlier in the season, but it has been worse than ever in the last few games.

I'll be surprised if a Premier League team wants him.

Could easily see a team like Wolves, Everton, Watford or Leicester offering 6 or 7 mill for him, as a back up keeper to their no. 1

Are you a fan of "Jurassic Park" by any chance?
